Match Between Navalcarnero and Betis Postponed Due to Train Accident
The highly anticipated match between Navalcarnero and Betis, set to occur tonight at Santo Domingo, has been cancelled. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) informed both teams that all matches scheduled for this Wednesday would not take place due to a train accident in Toledo.
As reported by Mundo Betis, the match has been rescheduled for Thursday, November 12, at 7 p.m., to be held at Santo Domingo in Alcorcón. This new date coincides with the international break, meaning that Betis will be without their international players, who are set to compete against the Czech Republic in the Nations League that same day.
The scheduling was tight, as the second round of the cup is planned for the first few days of December (1, 2, and 3), right after a series of challenging European matches for Betis.
Initially, there was consideration to play the Navalcarnero match on Thursday, but coach Manuel Pellegrini and his team decided on November 12 (7 p.m.), acknowledging that their national team players would not be available. This revised date comes just four days after a match against Elche and nine days ahead of the derby against Sevilla FC at the Sánchez-Pizjuán on November 21. The RFEF will soon formally release the updated schedule, although Betis has already outlined their plans, awaiting official confirmation.
